Update README for application installation
Closed this issue · 1 comments
For me at least, the installation is confusing. I did install pip-gui.exe using pip(18.1) and used the directory structure that I cloned from here. I used it because just installing pip-gui.exe is not enough: the application needs some relative files which do not exist. The application cannot create the needed files.
However what I noticed in the cloned project is that there is a setup.py
which has build
and install
command. The help command gives more information but still not helping too much ('will build package underneath build/', 'will install the package') - it is referring to the installation of a python package or the installation of pip-gui itself? Either way at python setup.py install
step I get the following error:
Searching for PyQt5
Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/PyQt5/
No local packages or working download links found for PyQt5
error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('PyQt5')
Maybe the incorrect installation determines the issues explained at #13
Readme has been updated in #16
